Remembering Oriana Fallaci - The Largest Tribute In The Blogosphere
Iraqi Bloggers Central ^ | September 17, 2006 | Mister Ghost

Oriana Fallaci (1929 - 2006) was called a leftist. Oriana Fallaci was called a fascist. I do not believe in the Left or the Right. I believe in the wet grass under my stockened feet soaking my skin. That is very much reality; that is not the symbolism of semantics. Labels are what men and women pin on each other as they seek to define the truth in their own minds. Fallaci was very much herself, whatever she believed in, and like most of us, her beliefs likely changed over time, with the ebb and flow of crisis and chaos, in her personal life and the world.

All you Freepers should get copies of her "The Rage and the Pride" and "The Force of Reason". She neither asked nor gave quarter to militant Islam. A very courageous woman. She knew that "multiculturalism" as presently understood was well on its way to destroying Europe and turning it into Eurabia.

A beautiful and truly courageous journalist...not the half baked Amanpour type. Although called herself offcially an atheist...I think in her later years she started to see the Light.

God Bless you Orianna...I hope you have found your true love again - Alexandros - and peace.

I ordered The Rage and the Pride over the weekend, and the bookstore called me yesterday to say that the publisher is out of copies (!) and now I won't get mine 'til the end of the month.

Hmmm...
